Hi we had similar problems; in the end we used scheduled tasks on each server to backup to a file store then backup the file store with all the vm`s on it,
Of course getting the timing for the backup of all the machines is critical and we now dont have a centralised backup console but for the virtual machines 7 of them its not to big a deal out of the 24 servers we use Nigel Parker Systems Engineer Ultraframe (UK) Ltd Tel: 01200 452329 Fax: 01200 452201 Web: <www.ultraframe.com> Email: <mailto:[email protected]> Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail Ultraframe design and manufacture innovative and quality conservatory solutions to suit all styles, all applications, all consumers and every price point.

It seems as if since we virtualized several of our file servers the backup speeds are ridiculously slow. Does anyone have any advice for backing up VM data?
